Printing ASCII value of BB (HEX) in Unix?

ASCII only defines the character codes up to 127 (0x7F) - everything after that is another encoding, such as ISO-8859-1 or UTF-8. Make sure your locale is set to the encoding you are trying to use - the locale command will report your current locale settings, the locale(5) and environ(5) man pages cover how to set them. A much more in-depth introduction to the whole character encoding concept can be found in Joel Spolsky's The Absolute Minimum Every Software Developer Absolutely, Positively Must Know About Unicode and Character Sets (No Excuses!) The character code 0xBB is shown as  in the IS0-8859-1 character chart, so that's probably the character set you want, so the locale would be something like en_US. ISO8859-1 for that character set with US/English messages/date formats/currency settings/etc.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
